Campbell learned of Palmer trade on TV

In his first interview since breaking his collarbone, Campbell admitted on 95.7 FM that he didn’t learn that the Raiders had acquired Carson Palmer until he saw it on TV.

“I was halfway still on pain medicine,” he said in the interview. “It was kind of a moment of silence. My fiancée looked at me to see if I was gonna say something. There’s different things that go through your mind, but you don’t want to fill your mind with those thoughts.”

It’s not the first time that the front office has neglected to keep Campbell in the loop. When Campbell was with Washington, a reporter claimed to be the first to break the news to him that the Redskins had signed Donovan McNabb.

Granted, it’s been an insane few weeks for Hue Jackson in between dealing with the death of Al Davis and keeping the team rolling forward. But it does seem like quite an oversight to not tell your quarterback that the team has made a massive trade for his replacement.
